The study of the photochemical behavior of 5-aryl-2,3-dihydropyrazine 1,4-dioxides.

For the first time, the photochemical behavior of aryl-substituted 2,3-dihydropyrazine 1,4-dioxides was investigated. A common feature of all observed photoprocesses is the conversion of nitrone moieties into an oxaziridine ring to give substituted bi- or polycyclic systems. It was shown that the direction of the reaction depends on the irradiation wavelength and the employed solvent.

Coating based on chitosan/vancomycin nanoparticles: Patterns of formation in a water-carbon dioxide biphase system and in vivo stability.

The patterns of formation of chitosan nanoparticles doped with vancomycin and coatings based on them in carbonate solutions have been investigated for the first time in this study. Using a technique of radioactive indicators, it was found that at a CO pressure of 30 MPa, the yield of the nanoparticles was ∼85 %, and a maximum antibiotic encapsulation efficiency of ∼30 % was achieved. By spectrophotometric and high-resolution microscopy, it was found that the coating of stabilized xenopericardial tissue of bioprosthetic heart valve, based on chitosan nanoparticles doped with vancomycin with a zeta potential |ζ| ∼20 mV completely covers collagen fibers by depositing about 60 nm nanoparticles onto them under direct deposition from carbonic acid at a pressure of 30 MPa CO.

Tritium-Labeled Nanodiamonds as an Instrument to Analyze Bioprosthetic Valve Coatings: A Case of Using a Nanodiamond Containing Coating on a Pork Aorta.

Coatings with xenogenic materials, made of detonation nanodiamonds, provide additional strength and increase elasticity. A functionally developed surface of nanodiamonds makes it possible to apply antibiotics. Previous experiments show the stability of such coatings; however, studies on stability in the bloodstream and calcification of the material in natural conditions have yet to be conducted.

Chitosan/hyaluronic acid polyanion bilayer applied from carbon acid as an advanced coating with intelligent antimicrobial properties for improved biological prosthetic heart valves.

The tightly bonded shielding coating on biomatrix significantly enhances the functionality of medical devices, bioprostheses in particular. In our work we have obtained a polyelectrolyte coating on a biomatrix by sequentially depositing chitosan and hyaluronic acid (HA) from solutions in carbonic acid under pressure. This approach makes it possible to obtain hybrid biomatrix with a firmly bonded polymer screen due to the electrostatic bonding of polyions.

Series of Fluorinated Benzimidazole-Substituted Nitronyl Nitroxides: Synthesis, Structure, Acidity, Redox Properties, and Magnetostructural Correlations.

A special series of nitronyl nitroxides was synthesized: 2-(benzimidazol-2'-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1-imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyls mono-, di-, tri-, or tetrafluorinated on the benzene ring. The structure of all paramagnets was unambiguously confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It was found that in crystals, the radicals are assembled into chains due to intermolecular H-bonds between the benzimidazole moiety (H-bond donor) and the nitronyl nitroxide group or benzimidazole ring (H-bond acceptor).
